SELL YOUR GOODS IN GERMANY THROUGH AMAZON AND ECOMMERCE

There are a number of trading situations that typically require a foreign trader to register with the German tax authorities. These follow the broad EU VAT rules, and  include:

• Selling goods over the internet (e.g. via Amazon, eBay, and eCommerce) to German consumers, subject to the German distance selling VAT regisration threshold
• Buying and selling goods in Germany
• Moving goods between Germany and other EU member states (intra-community supplies), either as sales (dispatches) or purchases (arrivals)
• Importing goods into Germany from another country, either from within the EU or from outside the EU
• Goods held in consignment stock
• Holding live exhibitions, events or training in Germany
• If a company is otherwise a non-VAT trader, but is receiving services in Germany under the reverse charge rule
• The self supply of goods

We help foreign companies to register for a German VAT number. As part of this process we will provide a complete checklist of required documents and information to initiate the registration of your personal VAT number in Germany.

Once we have received all required information from you, we will help to interact with the German authorities to apply for the German VAT number as quickly as possible. The whole process may take 2-4 weeks.
